• I know nothing about disc brakes.
    I have a Campag mechanical groupset. Is it possible to run this with some sort of disc brake setup or would I need new brifters ?

    Cheers

  • AFAIK, yes, you should be able to use your mechanical ergolevers (or wtf campag call their brifters) with any road cable disc brake caliper (I'd recommend trp spyres as long as oyu're not running a high flange/dynamo front hub).
    From a lil bit of googling it seems that campag 10sp may pull a lil less cable than other levers, but 11sp apparently the same, I imagine the 10sp ones would still be fine but can't say for sure.
    Expect more lever throw than with rim brakes and definitely use compressionless cable housing.
